Bobby is a story written about 2 brothers. Bobby and Danny. Bobby has some severe mental retardation and is wheelchair bound. He's also mute and paralyzed.

In this chilling tale, which I read from cover to cover in about 1/2 hour because I really couldn't stop reading it, we find out history about Bobby's wheelchair, and how that history can affect the lives of people around him. How cruel people can recieve payback in the strangest ways.

This story has emotional depth that pulls you in, it also brings you to the level of his older brother Danny and how he struggles to be there for his brother even when faced with much older bullies. What was supposed to be a great day for the brothers turns sour and we find out just how cruel some people can be. It will bring you back to earth as you read on to see how Danny and Bobby deal with these cruel people.

I do not want to ruin the story for you. The suspence is awesome and this was a awesome read. Read this story and take that walk in Danny's shoes over what he had witnessed around Bobby and his wheelchair.

Sterishoe is an amazing product that uses UV sterilization lights inside shoes to help kill bacteria and microorganisms that casue foot odor and athletes foot. These lil inserts are one the most amazing things that I have ever seen. Are they worth the pricetag of $129? Absolutely. Even better they are offering a coupon good til the end of 2013. The Code TJLFREE910 Gives you FREE SHIPPING!

Immortal Herbs has a 90 day money back gaurantee if you are not satisfied. Let me be clear that is amazing. Most places DO NOT give your money back. I tried this product and was thrilled.

Immortal Herbs has many add in mixes that can be put into shakes, or food or pretty much anything to give your body a boost. I chose to do a shake since for me those are super easy. I added Almond Milk, banana and a bit of peanut butter to one packet of the Immortal Herbs Superfood formula mix.

While the shake turned green, it has a great taste. I do not taste the herbs in my shake at all.

The powder is 100% organic
GMo Free

Can I get a heck Yeah! Totally my cup of tea. And no nasty bitter taste. Yet another win for this product..

I give this a 5/5 for Flavor
5/5 for ease of use
5/5 for the many ways it can be used with no aftertaste.

These strips while being super affordable were also super easy to apply. They have several great designs and as I was test running these I only bought one set, but am ready to back and get more. Below are the images of the strips on my nails.

As you can see in the images above the colors pop and you get a nice shine. The dust around my fingers is from lightly buffing my nails prior to the application.

In the Image below you can see they send a little nail file to help remove excess once you are done applying them. They also give you 10 strips. I didnt need all ten as my nails are short for the work I do with Jewelry. I was able to reuse strips to do 2 nails on average.

They also come in a little Ziplock container to keep the adhesive fresh. This is not pictured but is in each package.

Mine include, music on repeat (drives me nuts after a while), cleaning something up to turn around and my kids have tore it apart again, Asking someone to do something and then getting promised it will get done only to come back or go home and its not touched and is worse then when i left it. Trying to have a conversation and the other person is focused on something else and not listening.

I know they sound normal but its some of the most annoying things that bug me LOL.

I am a very eclectic music listener. I love pretty much all kinds. My thing about music is that people in general blame what a song says on how the youth of today and some adults act. I cannot agree with that sentiment. Music makes you feel. Music helps you deal with emotions.Music can make your soul bleed and make you have tears come to your eyes or it can give you chills. The whole emotions behind music is a wonderful feeling. Now.... on to the effects of music...

if someone says - I want to bang them up, shoot em up. Does that make me want to grab a gun and shoot someone? No.

If someone talks about going to strip clubs and messing around with random people. Nope not me. It's not who I am. And that being so I won't listen to songs that dont touch me emotionally.

Do I think that it affects our kids? I am not sure. If we are careful what we allow the younger generation to listen to, maybe that would make things better? Depends on the person and thier emotional balance at that point. I think that artists have a right to express thierselves. If we don't like a song or artist no one is forcing us to listen to it. So let an artist have lyrics you or I dont agree with. Someone else might love it. I don't feel we should blame an artist for someones actions. That person had a choice to do something and they could just as easily not have done it. Why should the artist be the blame.

This is the best tiem of year for products like these. make sure you check out thier pages and follow them. they have lots to offer in fall wear.

Here is the Giveaway for the "ebook" Thirty Scary Tales! There will be 3 winners :) This is hosted by the Joly Life blog.

Product Description

The stories in this book present a buffet of fear in its subtle flavours: suspense, apprehension, foreboding, disquiet. They don’t shock with extreme violence or gross out with masses of gore. However, they may induce terror, and some may leave you disturbed long after you’ve closed the book.

Fear is personal. The same story may constrict one person’s chest and set their heart racing, yet send only a mild tingle down another readers’ spine.

We all have certain personal fears, and if a story touches on one of those themes, the horror escalates. If you have a dread of drowning, I Dived the Pandora will be the scariest story for you.
Dog lovers may find Black Karma cute, but if canines give you the creeps, you may read it and shudder. While most readers find The Bridge Chamber scary, it can be a source of unbearable terror if you’re claustrophobic.

The great thing about horror fiction is that it puts you in control of your fears. In the comfort of your armchair, you can release the adrenaline rush that comes from danger, enjoy its thrills yet know you’re safe.

You decide when, how, and how much you want to be frightened. You can choose to linger over passages that give you a pleasant thrill, read straight though sections that do nothing to you, and if a story gets too frightening for your taste, you can close the book and relax.

With a short story collection, you can skip some stories and savour others that give you fear in your preferred colour, flavour and strength.

My brand of horror is ‘quiet’ in the tradition of classic British spooky tales, atmospheric and creepy rather than gory and violent.

The stories in this book have been previously published in magazines, ezines, collections and anthologies, sometimes in different versions. They’re also collected in volumes 1-5 of the Six Scary Tales books. The grammar and spelling are British.

I recently was given the opportunity to review Newman's Own Organics for free in exchange for my 100% honest and unbiased opinion on their product.

I was recently sent some of Newman's Own Organics products to review and I have to say that I am in love with their products and how they are made, also what they stand for too. What I believe they stand for is Healthy food for healthy snacking.
I know that before receiving Newman's Own Organics I had heard of Newman's before. To know that there is a trusted company out there that has come out with products that are healthy for my family is truly awesome. The original Newman's Own products have been around since 1982 and in 1993 The Newman's Own Organic products were created.

Here is some information on how the Newman's Own Organic products came to be.

When Nell Newman and business partner Peter Meehan started Newman’s Own®

Organics: The Second Generation®in 1993, they were sure there was a market for organic snack
foods, but they couldn’t have anticipated just how fast the demand for their products would grow.
What started with pretzels and grew to include other snack foods has now expanded to many other organic items: coffee, tea, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, organic dried fruit, and pet food. The partners anticipate adding a number of new items each year in all these areas.

Nell approached her father in 1992 about the possibility of an organic division. He offered to cover one year’s expenses for Nell and Peter to determine the feasibility of an organic product line under the Newman name. The one stipulation was that, onceestablished, they would return the seed money, so that it could be added to his charity money. They not only managed to do this within a short period of time, but also became an independent company in early 2001. This had been the goal from the beginning. They are committed to following the philanthropic role of Paul Newman and bringing out products that he would be proud to have his name associated with.

Some information on Organic Products:

DEFINITION
Organic agriculture is a holistic system with the primary goal of optimizing the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals, and people. Management practices are carefully selected with an intent to restore and then maintain ecological harmony on the farm, its surrounding environment and ultimately the whole planetary ecosystem.

Here are some of the fantastic products that Newman's Own Organic company was gracious enough to send my way to try:

In all of the products shown above we tried the Berry Blend which my husband and daughter truly loved. They would eat it as is or add it their yogurt's. The Ginger my oldest daughter ended up snatching from me for her stomach and she said that out of all ginger she has tried before these ones did not upset her tummy at all. My whole family absolutely devoured the chocolate, that did not last more then a couple of days in my home.
My youngest daughter and all of her friends broke into the licorice and cookies one day when I was not home. When I came home to find all the packages of the licorice empty and all the cookies opened up I asked what happened to the packages. All the kids just looked at me like they were in trouble but they were not LOL. I was so happy to see that they had actually chosen organic healthy snacks while I was gone instead of junk to eat. So I asked them what they like about the snacks that they had and they told me well honestly Mom their cookies thats why. They all made me laugh.
My ultimate favorite of all of the snacks they sent to me would have to be the pretzels especially the High Protein ones. They were so light and airy too.
The rest of the products we have not personally tried at all but I though I would show you some items that they also make too.
COMPANY
Newman's Own Organics was established as a division of Newman's Own in 1993, and became a separate company in late 2001. The sale of Newman's Own Organics products generates money for the Newman's Own Foundation to give away. Since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation have donated more than $350 million dollars to educational and charitable organizations worldwide.

Here is a way to get your family to eat yummy, healthy snack by a known and trusted company.

Hello Everyone! I was given an opportunity to review lipglosses from Bluescandal.com. These are Nyx Butter Glosses in Merengue, Apple Strudel and, Creme Brulee. As you can see from the images below, they were securely packaged. Everything came in beautifully :). They also arrived super fast. I got them within 3 days of being emailed they were shipped out! If you would like to purchase this product click here

I love the colors, they are light and smell amazing. I swatched them on my wrist so you can see that they are pretty pigmented :) They moisturize my lips really well also. Now while on the swatch they look really bright on the lips they are a sheer nude color which is nice because it doesn't overbear your lips with bright color. It leaves a nice soft peachy tone.

I will show you the before of each color :)

Creme Brulee

Merengue

Apple Strudel

I tested this thru food and drink and it help up well :) Here is the cup I was using and you will see there is barely any ruboff!

Overall I am really pleased with these glosses, they hold up thru eating and drinking. They aren't super bright so I can let my daughter use the too. Shes a lip gloss fanatic!!! I give these products a 5/5.

I give Blue Scandal 5/5 for Customer service and support. They did an amazing job getting back to me and allowing me this opportunity to share a wonderful product with you! They also have a great sale going on.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I recently had an opportunity to try this new probiotic and must admit was I ...
